Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Golfclub Zell am See - Kaprun - Saalbach-Hinterglemm?

You'll find the course truly shines from late spring through early autumn, typically May to September. The summer months offer the most consistent weather and longer daylight hours, perfect for tackling all 36 holes. We recommend aiming for June or September to avoid peak crowds while still enjoying fantastic conditions and comfortable temperatures.

With 36 holes and two different pars, what's the real difference between the "Schmittenhöhe" and "Kitzsteinhorn" courses?

You're essentially getting two distinct experiences here. The "Schmittenhöhe" course (Par 72) is often considered the more challenging, demanding precise shot-making and strategic play, while the "Kitzsteinhorn" course (Par 73) offers a slightly more forgiving, yet still engaging, round with wider fairways. We suggest playing both to fully appreciate the variety and stunning mountain backdrops each provides.

What's there to do in the Zell am See-Kaprun-Saalbach-Hinterglemm region when I'm not on the greens?

This region is an outdoor playground, so you'll have plenty to explore. We always recommend taking a scenic cable car ride up the Schmittenhöhe for breathtaking panoramic views or exploring the stunning High Tauern National Park. For a bit of relaxation, the Tauern Spa Kaprun is a fantastic option to unwind after a challenging round.

How far in advance should I book my tee times, especially if I want to play both courses?

Given its popularity and the 36-hole offering, we strongly advise booking your tee times at least a few weeks in advance, especially for weekend play or during peak summer season. If you're planning to play both the Schmittenhöhe and Kitzsteinhorn courses on consecutive days, securing those slots early will ensure you get your preferred times.

What's the standout feature or "must-see" aspect of playing Golfclub Zell am See - Kaprun - Saalbach-Hinterglemm?

Without a doubt, it's the absolutely spectacular alpine scenery that accompanies every shot. You're playing against a constant backdrop of the Kitzsteinhorn glacier and the surrounding mountains, which is truly unique and elevates the entire experience. Beyond the views, the immaculate course conditions across both 18-hole layouts are consistently impressive.
